Activists Gear Up to Protest the 2010 Olympics

A number of activists protest environmental, housing and other issues raised by the Olympics

Many activists are gearing up to protest the 2010 Winter Olympics coming to Vancouver and nearby Whistler ski resort. A number of issues are being protested by groups that have objections against the Olympic Games in general, on the grounds that environmental destruction, displacement of indigenous peoples, and continued support for the military-industrial complex are all negative outcomes for the Olympics.

Protests have been happening for more than a year, and as the 2010 Winter Olympics approach, it won't just be about snow sports and international competition. There will be protests and activism as well throughout Vancouver, and probably at Whistler ski resort as well.
